Jon Tollefson 0d9ea75443 powerpc: support multiple hugepage sizes
Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values.  For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache.  The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.

The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

Jon Tollefson 91224346aa powerpc: define support for 16G hugepages
The huge page size is defined for 16G pages.  If a hugepagesz of 16G is
specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the
default 16M.

The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to
make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not
shifted to 0.  Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift
value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

Nishanth Aravamudan a343787016 hugetlb: new sysfs interface
Provide new hugepages user APIs that are more suited to multiple hstates
in sysfs.  There is a new directory, /sys/kernel/hugepages.  Underneath
that directory there will be a directory per-supported hugepage size,
e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-16777216kB

corresponding to 64k, 16m and 16g respectively.  Within each
hugepages-size directory there are a number of files, corresponding to the
tracked counters in the hstate, e.g.:

/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/nr_overcommit_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/free_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/resv_hugepages
/sys/kernel/hugepages/hugepages-64/surplus_hugepages

Of these files, the first two are read-write and the latter three are
read-only.  The size of the hugepage being manipulated is trivially
deducible from the enclosing directory and is always expressed in kB (to
match meminfo).

Andi Kleen a137e1cc6d hugetlbfs: per mount huge page sizes
Add the ability to configure the hugetlb hstate used on a per mount basis.

- Add a new pagesize= option to the hugetlbfs mount that allows setting
  the page size
- This option causes the mount code to find the hstate corresponding to the
  specified size, and sets up a pointer to the hstate in the mount's
  superblock.
- Change the hstate accessors to use this information rather than the
  global_hstate they were using (requires a slight change in mm/memory.c
  so we don't NULL deref in the error-unmap path -- see comments).

Andi Kleen a551643895 hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

Andy Whitcroft cdfd4325c0 mm: record MAP_NORESERVE status on vmas and fix small page mprotect reservations
With Mel's hugetlb private reservation support patches applied, strict
overcommit semantics are applied to both shared and private huge page
mappings.  This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited
overcommit semantics for private mappings.  An example of this would be an
application which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very
sparsely.  These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of
the strict overcommit.  It should be noted that prior to hugetlb
supporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so
applications of this type should be rare.

This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page
mappings.  This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings,
suppressing reservations for that mapping.

Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these
patches.

This patch:

When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created
by default for any memory pages required.  When the region is read/write
the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for
read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page).  Reservations
are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region
has reservation backing it.  When we convert a region from read-only to
read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set.  However,
when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable
from a normal mapping.  When we then convert that to read/write we are
forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of
the original MAP_NORESERVE.

This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the
presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag.  This allows us to
distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve.

As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to
introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available
consistantly for the life of the mapping.  VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is
heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.

Mel Gorman 04f2cbe356 hugetlb: guarantee that COW faults for a process that called mmap(MAP_PRIVATE) on hugetlbfs will succeed
After patch 2 in this series, a process that successfully calls mmap() for
a MAP_PRIVATE mapping will be guaranteed to successfully fault until a
process calls fork().  At that point, the next write fault from the parent
could fail due to COW if the child still has a reference.

We only reserve pages for the parent but a copy must be made to avoid
leaking data from the parent to the child after fork().  Reserves could be
taken for both parent and child at fork time to guarantee faults but if
the mapping is large it is highly likely we will not have sufficient pages
for the reservation, and it is common to fork only to exec() immediatly
after.  A failure here would be very undesirable.

Note that the current behaviour of mainline with MAP_PRIVATE pages is
pretty bad.  The following situation is allowed to occur today.

1. Process calls mmap(MAP_PRIVATE)
2. Process calls mlock() to fault all pages and makes sure it succeeds
3. Process forks()
4. Process writes to MAP_PRIVATE mapping while child still exists
5. If the COW fails at this point, the process gets SIGKILLed even though it
   had taken care to ensure the pages existed

This patch improves the situation by guaranteeing the reliability of the
process that successfully calls mmap().  When the parent performs COW, it
will try to satisfy the allocation without using reserves.  If that fails
the parent will steal the page leaving any children without a page.
Faults from the child after that point will result in failure.  If the
child COW happens first, an attempt will be made to allocate the page
without reserves and the child will get SIGKILLed on failure.

To summarise the new behaviour:

1. If the original mapper performs COW on a private mapping with multiple
   references, it will attempt to allocate a hugepage from the pool or
   the buddy allocator without using the existing reserves. On fail, VMAs
   mapping the same area are traversed and the page being COW'd is unmapped
   where found. It will then steal the original page as the last mapper in
   the normal way.

2. The VMAs the pages were unmapped from are flagged to note that pages
   with data no longer exist. Future no-page faults on those VMAs will
   terminate the process as otherwise it would appear that data was corrupted.
   A warning is printed to the console that this situation occured.

2. If the child performs COW first, it will attempt to satisfy the COW
   from the pool if there are enough pages or via the buddy allocator if
   overcommit is allowed and the buddy allocator can satisfy the request. If
   it fails, the child will be killed.

If the pool is large enough, existing applications will not notice that
the reserves were a factor.  Existing applications depending on the
no-reserves been set are unlikely to exist as for much of the history of
hugetlbfs, pages were prefaulted at mmap(), allocating the pages at that
point or failing the mmap().

Mel Gorman a1e78772d7 hugetlb: reserve huge pages for reliable MAP_PRIVATE hugetlbfs mappings until fork()
This patch reserves huge pages at mmap() time for MAP_PRIVATE mappings in
a similar manner to the reservations taken for MAP_SHARED mappings.  The
reserve count is accounted both globally and on a per-VMA basis for
private mappings.  This guarantees that a process that successfully calls
mmap() will successfully fault all pages in the future unless fork() is
called.

The characteristics of private mappings of hugetlbfs files behaviour after
this patch are;

1. The process calling mmap() is guaranteed to succeed all future faults until
   it forks().
2. On fork(), the parent may die due to SIGKILL on writes to the private
   mapping if enough pages are not available for the COW. For reasonably
   reliable behaviour in the face of a small huge page pool, children of
   hugepage-aware processes should not reference the mappings; such as
   might occur when fork()ing to exec().
3. On fork(), the child VMAs inherit no reserves. Reads on pages already
   faulted by the parent will succeed. Successful writes will depend on enough
   huge pages being free in the pool.
4. Quotas of the hugetlbfs mount are checked at reserve time for the mapper
   and at fault time otherwise.

Before this patch, all reads or writes in the child potentially needs page
allocations that can later lead to the death of the parent.  This applies
to reads and writes of uninstantiated pages as well as COW.  After the
patch it is only a write to an instantiated page that causes problems.

Andy Whitcroft 0cad47cf13 page-flags: record page flag overlays explicitly
With the recent page flag reorganisation we have a single enum which
defines the valid page flags and their values, nice and clear.  However
there are a number of bits which are overloaded by different subsystems.
Firstly there is PG_owner_priv_1 which is used by filesystems and by XEN.
Secondly both SLOB and SLUB use a couple of extra page bits to manage
internal state for pages they own; both overlay other bits.  All of these
"aliases" are scattered about the source making it very hard for a reader
to know if the bits are safe to rely on in all contexts; confusion here is
bad.

As we now have a single place where the bits are clearly assigned it makes
sense to clarify the reuse of bits by making the aliases explicit and
visible with the original bit assignments.  This patch creates explicit
aliases within the enum itself for the overloaded bits, creates standard
bit accessors PageFoo etc.  and uses those throughout.

This version pulls the bit manipulation out to standard named page bit
accessors as suggested by Christoph, it retains the explicit mapping to
the overlayed bits.  A fusion of both ideas.  This has been SLUB and SLOB
have been compile tested on x86_64 only, and SLUB boot tested.  If people
feel this is worth doing then I can run a fuller set of testing.

This patch:

Some page flags are used for more than one purpose, for example
PG_owner_priv_1.  Currently there are individual accessors for each user,
each built using the common flag name far away from the bit definitions.
This makes it hard to see all possible uses of these bits.

Now that we have a single enum to generate the bit orders it makes sense
to express overlays in the same place.  So create per use aliases for this
bit in the main page-flags enum and use those in the accessors.

Kentaro Makita da3bbdd463 fix soft lock up at NFS mount via per-SB LRU-list of unused dentries
[Summary]

 Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft
 lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem.

 Previously I posted here:
 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590

[Descriptions]

- background

  dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced.
  dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are
  released.  This list can be very long if there is huge free memory.

- the problem

  When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly
  under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given
  superblock, scan next dentry.  This scan costs very much if there are
  many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks.

  IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans
  unused dentries on all superblocks in the system.  For example, we scan
  500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused
  dentries on other superblocks.

  In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink
  unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on
  superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems.  I hear NFS
  mounting took 1 min on some system in use.

* : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by
  this problem.

  100,000,000 is possible number on large systems.

  Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in
  reasonable manner.

- How to fix

  I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock
  unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to
  reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2).

  1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318
  2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320

  Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks.  Then, NFS
  mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all.  But
  this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused.  So, I've attempted to
  make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of
  dentries to scan on this sb based on following way

  number of dentries to scan on this sb =
  count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine)

- ToDo
 - I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests.

 - When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same
  superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone
  away.  We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes
  unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock.  But I think
  this happens very rarely.

- Test Results

  Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a1f242ff46 powerpc ioremap_prot
This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection
bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace
of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch).

This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations
of arch/powerpc.  There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and
non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED
set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is.

(standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be
capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).

lib/debugobjects.c has a function to test if an object is on the stack.
The block layer and ide needs it (they need to avoid DMA from/to stack
buffers).  This patch moves the function to include/linux/sched.h so that
everyone can use it.

lib/debugobjects.c uses current->stack but this patch uses a
task_stack_page() accessor, which is a preferable way to access the stack.

structs are going to be reorganized anyways during the generic ide rewrite.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 3b2a5c7149 ide: filter out "default" transfer mode values in set_xfer_rate()
* Filter out "default" transfer mode values (0x00 - default PIO mode,
  0x01 - default PIO mode w/ IORDY disabled) in write handler for obsoleted
  /proc/ide/hd?/settings:current_speed setting.

  Allowing "default" transfer mode values is a dangerous thing to do as
  we don't support programming controller to the "default" transfer mode
  and devices often use different values for the default and maximum PIO
  mode (i.e. PIO2 default and PIO4 maximum) so the controller will stay
  programmed for higher PIO mode while device will use the lower PIO mode.

  There is no functionality loss as by using special IOCTLs device can
  still be programmed to "default" transfer modes (it is only useful for
  debugging/testing purposes anyway).

* Remove no longer needed IDE_HFLAG_ABUSE_SET_DMA_MODE host flag, it was
  previously used by few host drivers to program the controller to PIO0
  timings for "default" transfer mode == 0x01 (although some host drivers
  would program invalid PIO timings instead).

* Cleanup ide_set_xfer_rate() and add BUG_ON().

Jason Wessel 17ce452f7e kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support
This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.

It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.

The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

Tejun Heo 137d3edb48 sg: reimplement sg mapping iterator
This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced
by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716.  As there's
already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name
this sg_mapping_iterator.

Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows.

Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into
account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used.
Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict
themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with
the mess.

This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to
easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details.
The user can decide to consume part of the iteration.  Also, iteration
can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between
iteration steps is necessary.  These features are useful to implement
piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example.

support only. Make break_ctl return an error code. Add a tty driver flag
so you can indicate driver hardware side break support.

Alan Cox 95da310e66 usb_serial: API all change
USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

John Reiser 6519108746 execve filename: document and export via auxiliary vector
The Linux kernel puts the filename argument of execve() into the new
address space.  Many developers are surprised to learn this.  Those who
know and could use it, object "But it's not documented."

Those who want to use it dislike the expression
  (char *)(1+ strlen(env[-1+ n_env]) + env[-1+ n_env])
because it requires locating the last original environment variable,
and assumes that the filename follows the characters.

This patch documents the insertion of the filename, and makes it easier
to find by adding a new tag AT_EXECFN in the ElfXX_auxv_t; see <elf.h>.

In many cases readlink("/proc/self/exe",) gives the same answer.  But if
all the original pages get unmapped, then the kernel erases the symlink
for /proc/self/exe.  This can happen when a program decompressor does a
good job of cleaning up after uncompressing directly to memory, so that
the address space of the target program looks the same as if compression
had never happened.  One example is http://upx.sourceforge.net .

One notable use of the underlying concept (what path containED the
executable) is glibc expanding $ORIGIN in DT_RUNPATH.  In practice for
the near term, it may be a good idea for user-mode code to use both
/proc/self/exe and AT_EXECFN as fall-back methods for each other.
/proc/self/exe can fail due to unmapping, AT_EXECFN can fail because it
won't be present on non-new systems.  The auxvec or {AT_EXECFN}.d_val
also can get overwritten, although in nearly all cases this would be the
result of a bug.

The runtime cost is one NEW_AUX_ENT using two words of stack space.  The
underlying value is maintained already as bprm->exec; setup_arg_pages()
in fs/exec.c slides it for stack_shift, etc.

Denys Vlasenko 2f0f2a334b module: turn longs into ints for module sizes
This shrinks module.o and each *.ko file.

And finally, structure members which hold length of module
code (four such members there) and count of symbols
are converted from longs to ints.

We cannot possibly have a module where 32 bits won't
be enough to hold such counts.

For one, module loading checks module size for sanity
before loading, so such insanely big module will fail
that test first.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 59438c9fc4 x86: rename PTE_MASK to PTE_PFN_MASK
Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants
should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual
purpose of the constant.

Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually
being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely
different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the
problem is.

But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have
achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

Rusty Russell c2e3277f87 x86: fix pte_flags() to only return flags, fix lguest (updated)
(Jeremy said:
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
 When I asked:
	jsgf: does that include the NX flag?
 He responded eloquently:
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes
)

Change a15af1c9ea 'x86/paravirt: add
pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags()
in favor of a generic one.

Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits:
this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing
up host memory.

Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems
safest to always do the filtering.
